jenna: why should iraq listen to us? >> i think it is very unlikely iraq will listen to us. i think the administration's decision to pull out combat troops simply allowed iran to increase its influence over the maliki government. that is one of the reasons i'm worried about stability in iraq itself. it was one of the consequences entirely predictable when this withdrawal went forward. jenna: but iran has been involved in iraq and iraqi politics now for a while, ambassador, right? we've seen this before. iran's technology has been responsibility for killing our troops in iraq and afghanistan. >> right. and i think the iranian influence in iraq has also been steadily increasing over these past several years. i think another thing to look at, iran using iraqi facilities to smuggle oil out of iran, to sell it on the world markets as iraqi oil or to allow it to be used inside iraq. there are any number of ways in which the two governments are cooperating to the disadvantage of the united states and our other friends in the region. jenna: ambassador, i'm looking at the headline up

iraq is in a tough neighborhood. remember if we're not there, remember we pulled out lock, stock and barrel. jon: no bases on the ground. >> no residual troops. we could have left 10,000 or so and negotiated and sought that. we're out now. so our leverage is really low. meanwhile iraq has to live next to iran which is a power in the region. maliki, the prime minister of iraq, has to decide where he wants to pick his fights and he said basically joe biden, forget it, i'm going it iran. jon: better to tick off joe biden than the mullahs next door. >> that is exactly right. jon: what is the solution? the president gave one of his first big speeches in cairo promising to reset relations with the muslim world. >> clearly i think one of the things you have to do is, probably the most important thing you should do, basically show we're going to stop iran from giving a nuclear weapon. that is the single biggest problem in the region. if iran is able to assert itself there despite all world opinion and u.s. insistence that th

he was a former soldier that fought in iraq during desert storm. he was serving a life sentence we are told because he had been convicted of also treason. he confessed under torture. also worth noting here, is that following the meeting with reverend jackson, gambia's president decided that instead of simply suspendedding a moratorium on the death penalty in that country he would extend it indefinitely. in august, jon, the president of gambia said all 47 prisoners on death row were going to be executed. nine of them were. he came under a great deal of international pressure. now appears for the moment 38 lives have been spared. we expect to learn a great deal more when reverend jackson arrives in the room in john f. kennedy airport in a few minutes. jon: keep an eye on it for us. david lee miller, thank you [ rosa ] i'm rosa and i quit smoking with chantix. when the doctor told me that i could smoke for the first week... i'm like...yeah, ok... little did i know that one week later i wasn't smoking.
